Hi neighbors,

Many people in the area have commented about the trash and other debris in the stream along Locke between North King Charles and Bertie. Now is your chance to help clean it up! Come on out on Saturday April 28 from 10:00 to 2:00 to help with the Stream and Street cleanup on Locke Lane. This effort is scheduled to coincide with the NCDOT 2012 Spring Litter Sweep (April 14-28). We are also working with the Adopt-a-Stream program to provide materials and support for the cleanup effort. This is a great way to meet some more of your neighbors and help make the neighborhood a better place.

There is also an opportunity to win cash prizes!! Pepsico in conjunction with the Spring Litter Sweep is holding a contest to find the most unusual litter. Cash prizes for the most unusual litter items go all the way up to $250! What a great way to put some extra change in your pocket while helping a good cause at the same time.

Where and when:

- Saturday April 28 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM

- Meeting location will be at the corner of Bertie and Locke. Ask for Sheri.

What will be provided:

- Trash bags

- Safety vests

- Latex gloves

- Trash pickup

What you need to bring:

- Appropriate clothing, such as boots, hat, etc.

- Bug spray

- Sunscreen

- Work gloves. We may have a few extra pairs, but if you have some, please bring them.

We welcome all participants, but if you're under 18, we'll need written parental consent. Let me know if you need a consent form, and I'll email it to

you.

Kind regards,
